With the New Year upon us everyone is making goals they want to accomplish for the New Year. 

A goal that EVERYONE should have is not caring what others have to say about YOUR LIFE.

It seems that in society today a lot of people don't do things for themselves but instead for others. It goes from trying to impress someone, doing what you’re told, living a double life, insecurities, etc. 

Everyone goes through a phase in their life where you try to fit in and do whatever it takes. See humans live off of being accepted by others but we forget that the only one that has to accept us is ourselves. 

You shouldn’t be doing certain things in your life to get likes on social media or getting some type of praise for what you’re doing, at the end of the day it should be because YOU want to do without caring about what others are going to say.

Living in a world where you care about what others say all the time is so stressful and defeats the purpose of life. Everyone isn’t meant to be the same , we are all unique in our own way so embrace every inch of it. It’s okay to different then the people around you.

The most successful people in life stopped caring about what others thought and said and pursued whatever they thought was going to make them happy. If they lived behind the shadow of everyone else’s thoughts of what they should do with their life they wouldn’t be where they are now. Life is about taking risk and finding your true happiness. And trust me you won’t find that when you live in someone’s else’s world as your own. 

So be free and do what YOU want because it’s YOUR LIFE

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
